    the history and use of colors in art and design. Visitors can explore how colors have been produced, from natural pigments to synthetic alternatives. The museum is perfect for art and design enthusiasts, offering an engaging insight into the cultural and aesthetic impact of colors.

    It's a great way to get introduced to Norwegian architecture and history, the historical evolution of norwegian homes while actually entering a lot of them makes it a lovely interactive experience in which plenty of pictures can be taken. I strongly recommend wearing comfortable shoes 'cause it involves some walking and interacting with the museum's staff, who are kind and full of insight about the historical significance of the artifacts inside the homes.

    Having an interest in norwegian culture and history is a must for visitors

    The building looks like it’s floating on the water from a distance it’s a unique design and it’s a cool idea that you get to walk on the roof which gives you a chance to see the city from a new viewpoint

    Some friends invited me to take a trip on a boat to see the Oslofjord, I decided to join them, we spent the whole day admiring the fjord, the experience was absolutely positive. Evoked a sense of freedom. Norwegians are very funny and open-minded, it's a great country. I'll definitely come back.

    Because this is a viking country you must is it this museum. It small and pricey but still worth it. There are well preserved ships from ancient times and even realistic ones as though you are actually in a ship. Don't miss this one even if you are not a lover of museums.

    We visited the museum to learn more about the sculpture and artwork. Definitely an eye opener and educational visit as we are amazed by the work pieces and the history of Gustav Vigeland. There are clean toilets and free lockers in the museum. We stay about an hour in this museum.

    We spent a couple of hours here on our last morning in Tromso. Having already spent a few hours in the Munch we were pleasantly surprised to find they also had a copy of “The Scream” as well as “Madonna” and “The sick child”. What was even more surprising was the fact they had some pieces by Cezanne, Money and Degas. A great way to spend a couple of hours.

    In early August, my family and I went on a road trip through Norway. We enjoyed breathtaking views, delicious food, and adventurous activities. Read here why Norway should be your next travel destination and what you absolutely must do on this vacation 🇳🇴

    The view here is beautiful! You can walk through the fortress without paying.

    Before we left Norway, we had a last stop in Oslo to have a guided visit of the “Frogner Park”.
    This a public park in the central West End borough of Frogner in Oslo, Norway. The park is historically part of Frogner Manor and is Oslo's largest park, open to the public at all times. It includes the manor house which is the seat of Oslo Museum, the nearby Henriette Wegner Pavilion, the Vigeland installation of sculptures created by sculptor Gustav Vigeland, Frogner Baths, Frogner stadion, Frognerparken Café, the restaurant Herregårdskroen and the largest collection of roses in the country. Frogner Park is the most visited tourist attraction in Norway. All the sculptures are showing the way of live.

    The apartment I rent was at the end of this street so during my stay I passed through this street innumerable times. The street as you can imagine it's filled with stores, famous brands, five stars hotels and expensive restaurants. If you don't have enough time to explore Oslo I reccomend to find an accodation close to the train station, most of the attractions like The Parlment, The cathedral, the royal palce, the city hall are very close and you can visit all of them in less then 1 hour (from outside of course).
